Mr. Barker said that each of the new vessels will be in excess of 38,000 tons, with a shallow draft of 35 feet, have a service speed of 16 knots, and feature an automated engine room and a semiautomatic cargo control system.

They will be built at the San Diego, Calif., shipyard of National Steel and Shipbuilding Co. and are scheduled for delivery in October 1975, June 1976 and January 1977. Mr. Barker also noted that the vessels, which will be operated by Moore-McCormack Bulk Trans- port, Inc., will feature segregated ballast so that oil and ballast water storage tanks will not be co- rn ingle d.

There are eight tables, most of them taken from the ASTM-IP Petroleum Measurement Tables, and four charts, plus an explanation of quan- tity calculations encountered in the marine trade and new glossary of petroleum terms.
